Think about this for a moment.  If you aren’t doing well in business take a look at your own thoughts and see what you find there.  You may have a belief that business is not very good.  You may be upset because there is not any activity and therefore you generate no activity.  You may not find success of business in your thoughts.  Are you expecting lots of customers?  Are you expecting there to be flurries of activity?  Are you really seeing a thriving business full of success?  Don’t dwell on what seems to be happening right now.  Envision a flurry of activity, customers out the wazoo, and a bank account that is full of money.  Now that’s what I’m talking about!

I learn and experience so much from my family.  My sister called late last night and she was upset about life in general.  She tends to hang onto the past and blames people for her life.  I listen and look for moments where her and I took different paths.  She complains about how bad her life is and tells me she is always lifting other spirits but can’t lift her own.  “Reflections” I tell her.  “Reflections of what you are putting out.”  She doesn’t want to have to change the blaming.  So I sit back and listen with compassion but all the while I find how interesting and unique we all are.  Two siblings from the same exact parents but different time periods and our beliefs on life came out so different.  Each of us is amazing in our own way.  I tell her this but she blames her past on her past experiences.   “Change can be scary but it’s worth it.   All you have to do is start with you.”  She’s silent and I know to relax and get ready to say good night.  She’s not ready to just ‘be.’  Family teaches us how to allow and accept one another even if we think we have the ‘right’ answer.  I love her and at times I feel like the big sister.  I’m glad I’m who I am…
